<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Dale, post: 8093035, member: 100459&quot;]There are some interesting ideas bein bantered around, which confuses me even more about wife coins or artifacts are found by a man/woman just poking around some old ruins that may be thousands of years old.&nbsp; Many items take decades if not longer, to find out just what they have found.&nbsp; There has to be some legal guidelines on what is legally found by someone that is just what someone found when they saw a shiny widget.&nbsp; Many items that are found take decades if not centuries to find out what they are.&nbsp; Man (and woman) have been on this planet for years.&nbsp; There are treasures or trash all around this globe.&nbsp; Archaeologists and other &quot;scientists&quot; have been digging for centuries and only found a small amount of &quot;trash&quot; that generations have thrown out of the wind.&nbsp; Some poor little citizen finds a bowl and the archaeologists go into shock trying to figure out what they have found.&nbsp; Even if they find something that is 2 centuries old, they have only touched the surface.&nbsp; Then some poor slob sees something shiny and decides to take it home and show it to his friends.&nbsp; Inevitably, some slob of a friend decides to go to a Museum and tells some slob that keeps the glass shiny and the floor clean.&nbsp; He then wants to show them what his friend works.&nbsp; Well, then the storm troopers all in black breaks into the home of the poor slob that had something that he found, in a drawer in his bedroom.&nbsp; The storm troopers go through the house with a fine tooth comb and finds the artifact.&nbsp; He is then arrested and charge with a crime.</p><p>My last words are, and have always been, 1) Don&#039;t tell anyone what you find. 2) Roll with the punches.&nbsp; If you fight it, you will have to pay thousands of dollars in legal fees, just because you find a rock or a piece of something and you wanted to be a show-off with your friends(?).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
